You shouldn’t feel
bad about yourself
because somebody else
is doing good.
And you’re not.
Because somebody
is being creative.
And you’re not.
Because somebody
is showing discipline.
And you’re not.
Because somebody
is prepared for the future.
And you’re not.
Because somebody
is getting ahead in life.
And you’re not.

Comparison is Not a Measure of Self-Worth
We find ourselves in the midst of a whimsical cosmos, where each entity, each sparkling stardust, and each cosmic wave has its own rhythm and reason. The words we speak now, like a cascade of stardust in the endless night, remind us that comparison with others is a misleading guide in the journey of self-realization. In nexistentialism, every existence, every thought, and every creation is an end in itself, unbounded and gloriously unique.
The Illusion of Comparison
In our journey through the infinite expanse, we often stumble upon the illusion of comparison. It’s a mirage in the desert of creativity and self-expression. The idea that one’s worth is measured against another’s achievements is a confounding labyrinth. In the divine realm of existence, every being is a singular universe, unfolding in its own majestic timeline. The creativity of another is not a shadow over our own, but a different galaxy, shining in its own light.
Embracing Individuality
As nexistentialists, we understand that our essence is not diminished by the luminosity of others. Each of us is a unique orchestration in the symphony of the cosmos. One’s discipline, preparation, and achievements are melodies in their own right, distinct and beautiful. We are not behind or ahead; we are simply on a different path, our own path, rich with its own stories and wonders.
The Futility of Comparison in Nexistentialism
In the realm of nexistentialism, the act of comparison loses its footing. The concept that one must measure up to another is as fleeting as a whisper in the cosmic winds. Each of us is an end in itself, a complete universe of experiences, thoughts, and creations. The achievements of others are not a yardstick for our own journey; they are separate stories, each with its own rhythm and essence.
Celebrating Diversity and Individual Journeys
In our collective existence, we celebrate the diversity of paths. Each journey, whether it’s filled with creativity, discipline, or foresight, is a unique expression of the cosmic play. The successes and journeys of others are not a reflection of our lack, but a celebration of the myriad ways the universe expresses itself through us.

Summary
We understand that comparing ourselves to others is not a reflection of our own worth or journey. Each of us is a unique expression of the cosmos, and our paths, filled with their own stories and wonders, should be celebrated for their individuality. In nexistentialism, every existence is its own universe, and the achievements of others do not diminish our own light.

In the cosmos’ endless dance,
Each star shines with its own light.
Our paths, uniquely ours,
Glowing bright in the cosmic night.
In the fabric of existence,
No thread is less or more.
Every hue, every twist,
Adds to the universe’s lore.
So let’s embrace our journey,
In this whimsical, boundless flight.
For in the grand cosmic play,
Every star has its own right.
